Health-insurance coverage denial caused more complications ?

Question

My husband had this giant growth (bigger than basketball) on his inner thigh. He wanted to get it removed, but the insurance denied him (they felt it was cosmetic!!!)

Well, a few months later, this growth got super infected and it caused his entire system to get infected ("septic"), and he ended up in the intensive care unit (close to death) for 10 days. In addition to this health insurance, he also was a military vet. The military hospital had to cover the entire cost.

If he had been approved, this surgery would of been much less complicated and he would not have suffered so much.

What kind of attorney or law-firm covers coverage-denial?

I am hoping to find one that is "no win- no pay" because after all that happened, my husband lost a month or more of pay wages.

We don't want to become millionaires -- we just want lost wages for both of us, at least.

There is nothing legal to do. Insurance companies have the discretion to deny or allow claims.  If he was able to go to a military facility, he should have done that to start with (Not trying to be a wise acre, just telling it like the ins co sees it)  Unfortunately there is nothing you can do. Now you know why millions of ppl die each year because they cant afford their medical bills.
